Do you have a middle name picked out! Actually, different name books have different pronunciations, but MOST books/sites phonetically spell it as "aw-REL-ya"...which is the proper way to pronounce it. It's a Latin name, from the last Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius. My brother Jamie was a Latin teacher, he named her after the Emperor.

I'm actually taking Latin, too, but I learned it in Social Studies (ironically) that Marcus Aurelius was the last "good" emperor of Rome. Aurelia's name has such a nice meaning; she will be able appreciate it when she's older and she learns who Marcus Aurelius was!!! -Adele XOXO Please Join our community to post your questions or answers | Report to moderator   Logged
